If you need a bot to tell you a source is or isn't biased, then you shouldn't be reading the news in the first place.

Wait, I haven't seen this bot around?

Because they don't want to take 3 seconds and block the user.

I wonder if the same clients that don’t correctly render the collapsed paragraphs also don’t correctly render the block button?

My problem with the downvotes and the criticisms is that they don't provide any proof or comparison, they simply say that it's biased and wrong.

At the very least you should be linking examples and comparing against other bias checking sites.

For instance, I immediately disliked biasly.com because the rating system is -100 (Liberal) to 100 (Conservative). I've only compared a single site so far but the rating system alone makes me inclined to believe that the site is biased towards conservative views.
